I will be keeping a close eye on conditions in the Mournes over the next few weeks - need to see whether to bring axes+crampons or rock boots home for Christmas!

In reply to anonymous: I take it you're referring to White Walls rather than Hypothesis?

What constitutes being 'in' with mixed routes will always be up for debate and people certainly seem to be enjoying that argument on here at the minute.

Cheers,
